Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an agriculture farm monitoring and protection system that is capable of spotting pest movements, and checking environmental conditions in real time, making sure any changes or problems are quickly noticed. In addition, the system also helps farmers take immediate action to protect crops and maintain healthy growing conditions efficiently.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] In modern agriculture, effective monitoring and protection of crops are essential for ensuring healthy plant growth, optimal yield, and reduced losses. Farms are exposed to various challenges including pest attacks, diseases, nutrient deficiencies, and adverse environmental conditions. Continuous observation and timely intervention are necessary to maintain crop health, improve productivity, and reduce wastage. Proper management of irrigation, fertilization, pruning, and pest control plays a crucial role in sustaining farm efficiency and ensuring high-quality agricultural produce.

[0002] Traditionally, crop monitoring and protection have been carried out manually or with minimal mechanization. Farmers rely on periodic field inspections to detect pests, diseases, or nutrient deficiencies and perform irrigation, fertilization, or pruning as needed. Pest deterrence is often achieved using nets, chemical sprays, or physical barriers. Manual monitoring and care methods are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to errors, especially in large farm areas. The frequency of inspections may be limited, leading to delayed detection of plant stress, pest attacks, or soil nutrient deficiencies.

[0003] These conventional approaches also have limitations in terms of precision, efficiency, and overall crop protection. Manual methods cannot provide continuous or real-time monitoring of environmental conditions or early warning of potential threats. Inaccurate application of fertilizers, pesticides, or irrigation can reduce crop productivity and increase resource wastage. Additionally, human-dependent interventions cannot easily respond to dynamic conditions across large or densely planted farms, often resulting in suboptimal crop care, increased vulnerability to pests, and overall reduced yield and farm profitability.

[0004] US20170228832A1 discloses about an automated farming system includes equipment operating on a cropland. The equipment includes a yield monitor for dynamically measuring crop yields, and a communications subsystem for wirelessly reporting data corresponding to the crop yields. The communication subsystem can interactively control operation of the equipment, for example, providing guidance via a global navigation satellite system (e.g., the Global Positioning System (GPS)). A computer interfaces with the equipment and is programmed with a dynamic rent computing function, which utilizes the inputs and cropland outputs comprising crop yields for computing an appropriate rent for the cropland based on variable factors including crop yields, commodity prices, operating costs and by applying an operating margin allocation between the landowner and the farmer.

[0005] US6947810B2 discloses about a system for automating the growing of crops, such as grapevines. Combinations of data from sensors local to a vineyard, and from optional remote stations and sensors, is combined with a control system to accurately control the dispensing of water and chemicals such as insecticides, disease prevention fungicides and fertilizers. The materials are dispensed through a multiple channel conduit which allows conflicting, or incompatible, types of materials to be transported through a common assembly. Sensors are attached to the conduit so that the placement of sensors can occur simultaneously with the laying of the conduit. This approach also ensures correct placement and spacing of the sensors with respect to each plant, or plant area, to be monitored and treated.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems are developed for monitoring agriculture farm. However, these existing prior arts pertains certain limitation where most systems are focused on individual yield measurement, irrigation control, or chemical dispensing, and do not provide an integrated solution for continuous crop monitoring, dynamic threat detection, and autonomous crop care and lack real-time adaptability to variable environmental conditions, comprehensive pest deterrence, or plant-specific treatment capabilities.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to be capable of providing real-time monitoring, intelligent analysis, and autonomous execution of farm protection and crop care operations by inspecting plant health, detect pest presence, assess environmental and soil conditions, and carry out timely actions including fertilization, pruning, pest deterrence, and physical protection without human intervention.

[0016] The present invention relates to an agriculture farm monitoring and protection system that is capable of safeguarding crops by actively keeping away birds, insects, and animals using smart and responsive methods for improving crop quality, and helps farmers protect their fields, thus improving efficiency in overall agricultural operations.

[0017] Referring to Figure 1, a perspective view of a perspective view of an agriculture farm monitoring and protection system, comprising a structural frame 101 comprising a plurality of vertical telescopic rods 102 positioned at four corners of a farm, and a motorized dual-axis slider 103 mounted on top of said rods 102, a plurality of AI-based inspection modules 104 arranged along said dual- axis slider 103, a plurality of pest deterrent units 105 mounted on said dual- axis slider 103 includes a plurality of water-spraying nozzles 105a mounted on the dual- axis slider 103 via motorized ball-and-socket joints 105b, a multi-sectioned fluid reservoir 105c connected to said nozzles 105a via a pipe network 105d, a UV (ultraviolet) light emission module 105e and multiple UV-reflective panels 105f installed, an ultrasonic transducer module 105g integrated with the slider 103.

[0018] Figure 1 further illustrates a set of autonomous units 106 suspended from the dual- axis slider 103 via telescopic links 107, a set of soil inspection probes 108 disposed on a bottom portion of each unit, an electronic fertilization module 109 attached to each unit, comprising a multi-compartment vessel 109a storing different fertilizer types and a precision sprayer 109b, a pruning and wound treatment arrangement 110 integrated with one side of the unit, includes a vertical guide rail 110a mounted on said unit and integrated with a telescopic pole 110e, a rotating motorized cutter 110b mounted at a front end of the telescopic pole 110e, an electronic nozzle 110c attached adjacent to the cutter 110b and connected via a tube to a sealant chamber 110d, a moat barrier making arrangement 111 integrated with an opposite side of the bot body includes a semicircular cascading slider 111a mounted on the side of the unit, a U-shaped plate tool 111b attached to the slider 111a via motorized hinge joints 111c , a cylindrical mesh barrier arrangement 112 integrated with the unit includes a motorized retractable roller 112a assembly and a pair of vertically aligned telescopic arms 112b attached to opposite sides of the unit, stretchable mesh sheet 112c .

[0019] The system disclosed herein comprises of the structural frame 101, which is formed by the plurality of vertical telescopic rods 102 positioned at four corners of the farm. The telescopic rods 102 are adapted for vertical extension and retraction, thereby adjusting the overall height of the frame 101. The telescopic rods 102 mentioned herein is powered by a pneumatic unit that embodies an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves, and piston which work in collaboration to perform the extension and retraction of the rods 102. The rods 102 comprise a nested tube arrangement that contains multiple hollow tubes connected concentrically.

[0020] The air cylinder is attached to the bottom of the nested tube arrangement and further consists of an air piston attached to the topmost part of the nested tube arrangement from the inside. The air cylinder is integrated with one inlet and one outlet valve that is connected to an air compressor. The air compressor draws air from the surroundings and compresses it to form pressurized air which enters the inlet valve and creates a force that pushes the piston in the forward direction. As the piston moves in the forward direction, it leads to the sequential opening of the concentrically connected tubes from the top toward the bottom. This leads to the extension of the rods 102 for adjusting the overall height of the frame 101.

[0021] The motorized dual- axis slider 103 is mounted on the top ends of the rods 102, the slider 103 is configured for horizontal movement along two perpendicular axes, ensuring complete aerial coverage of the farm area and enabling precise positioning of the units 106 and modules. The motorized dual- axis slider 103 mentioned herein operates by employing two orthogonally arranged linear motion tracks, each integrated with a motor-driven actuator. One motor controls movement along the X-axis while the other governs movement along the Y-axis, enabling independent or combined motion across the farm area. The motors transmit power through gear assemblies or belt-driven, ensuring smooth translation of the slider 103 along the guide rails for horizontal movement along two perpendicular axes, ensuring complete aerial coverage of the farm area.

[0022] The plurality of AI-based inspection modules 104 are arranged along the dual- axis slider 103 and connected to the central processing unit. Each inspection module includes an AI-enabled camera integrated with a plurality of environmental sensors, such as a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, and an acoustic sensor.

[0023] The AI-enabled camera mentioned herein incorporates a processor that is encrypted with an artificial intelligence protocol. The camera functions by capturing high-resolution images and video streams of crops and the surrounding farm environment. The captured data is processed using artificial intelligence protocol, which analyze visual parameters such as leaf color, shape, and texture to identify plant health conditions, pest presence, and nutrient deficiencies. The camera continuously compares the acquired data with trained models to detect abnormalities or stress indicators. The camera transmits the processed results to the central processing unit for real-time decision-making. This enables automated identification of growth patterns, early disease detection, and precise monitoring of overall crop health for optimized farm management.

[0024] The humidity sensor works mentioned herein works by detecting the moisture content present in the surrounding air. The sensor uses a hygroscopic material that changes electrical resistance or capacitance depending on the absorbed water vapor. This change is converted into an electrical signal, which is processed to determine relative humidity levels. The sensor continuously transmits real-time data to the processing unit, allowing monitoring of atmospheric moisture conditions around crops. The data is used to assess irrigation needs, prevent excessive dryness, and identify conditions favorable for pest growth. The sensor ensures accurate environmental tracking for maintaining suitable growing conditions and crop health management.

[0025] The temperature sensor mentioned herein operates by measuring heat variations in the surrounding environment through changes in resistance, voltage, or current. In resistive types, the resistance varies proportionally with temperature, whereas semiconductor-based types generate voltage signals in response to temperature changes. The measured signal is calibrated and transmitted as precise temperature data to the processing unit. This allows real-time monitoring of microclimatic variations across the farm area.

[0026] The acoustic sensor mentioned herein operates by utilizing a microphone-based transducer that converts incident sound waves present in the farm environment into corresponding electrical signals. These signals undergo amplification and digital processing through an integrated signal conditioning circuit and microcontroller unit. The sensor analyzes key acoustic parameters including frequency spectrum, amplitude variations, and temporal patterns. By applying threshold-based protocol and pattern recognition techniques, the sensor distinguishes between normal background sounds and critical events such as insect activity, rodent or bird intrusions, mechanical faults, or environmental anomalies.

[0027] The sensors transmit the processed signals to the central unit for further analysis and decision-making. Continuous monitoring helps distinguish between normal farm background sounds and critical anomalies. The sensor enables real-time pest detection, protection of crops from harmful organisms, and early alerts for preventive interventions. These inspection modules 104 perform real-time monitoring of plant health, pest presence, and environmental conditions, transmitting collected data to the processing unit for analysis and decision-making.

[0028] The pest deterrent units 105 are mounted on the dual- axis slider 103 and configured to protect crops against birds, insects, and other intrusions. Each deterrent unit includes the plurality of water-spraying nozzles 105a mounted via motorized ball-and-socket joints 105b, allowing directional control and targeted dispersion. The nozzles 105a are connected to the multi-sectioned fluid reservoir through the pipe network for storing water and pest deterrents.

[0029] The water-spraying nozzles 105a operate by receiving pressurized fluid from the reservoir through the pipe network and atomizing into fine droplets for dispersal. The nozzles 105a are engineered for variable spray patterns, enabling misting, jetting, or directional spraying based on pest control needs. The controlled spraying disrupts bird flight paths, deters insects, and creates protective moisture barriers on crops. The nozzles 105a are designed to minimize fluid wastage by regulating pressure and spray volume according to real-time instructions received from the central processing unit.

[0030] The motorized ball-and-socket joints 105b provide controlled multi-directional articulation for the attached nozzles 105a. Each joint integrates a motor assembly that receives electronic control signals to adjust orientation in real time. The spherical interface allows smooth pivoting across a wide range of angles, enabling accurate targeting of pest-prone regions without manual adjustment. This flexibility ensures dynamic coverage over varying crop heights and farm layouts. The joints 105b maintain positional stability during operation by locking into the commanded angle, preventing drift caused by pressure forces. Their design allows repeatable precision movements, making pest deterrence more effective by directing sprays exactly where needed.

[0031] Additionally, the deterrent units 105 comprise UV light emission module 105e combined with multiple UV-reflective panels 105f for visually repelling birds and flying insects, along with the ultrasonic transducer module 105g configured to emit frequency-specific sound waves effective against pests.

[0032] The UV light emission module 105e generates ultraviolet radiation at calibrated wavelengths known to disturb or disorient birds and flying insects. The module employs high-efficiency UV LEDs or lamps controlled by an electronic driver circuit, which regulates intensity and duty cycles to optimize effectiveness while reducing power consumption. The emitted light interacts with the visual perception of pests, creating glare or patterns that discourage approach. Integrated heat management ensures consistent output during prolonged operation. The module can be triggered automatically by pest detection signals, providing targeted visual deterrence without the need for continuous operation, thus conserving energy and extending lifespan.

[0033] The UV-reflective panels 105f function by redirecting and scattering ultraviolet light emitted from the UV module across wider angles of the farm. These panels 105f are fabricated from materials with high UV reflectivity, ensuring efficient redistribution of light for maximum coverage. The reflective surfaces create dynamic, shimmering patterns that simulate environmental disturbances, confusing birds and insects. Their placement is optimized to cover blind spots and extend deterrent effects beyond the direct emission zone. The panels 105f operate passively, requiring no external energy, and are resistant to environmental wear, maintaining reflective efficiency under outdoor conditions for consistent long-term pest protection.

[0034] The ultrasonic transducer module 105g operates by converting electrical energy into high-frequency sound waves above the human audible range, typically between 20–100 kHz. These sound waves create an acoustic environment that irritates or disorients birds and insects without harming crops or humans. The module includes a piezoelectric element that vibrates rapidly when excited by an electronic signal, generating the ultrasonic output. Frequency modulation is applied to prevent pests from adapting, maintaining deterrence effectiveness. The sound waves are directed toward pest-prone regions, creating a protective acoustic barrier.

[0035] The system further incorporates set of autonomous units 106 suspended from the dual- axis slider 103 by telescopic links 107. These units 106 are configured to perform crop care operations across the farm area. The telescopic links 107 mentioned herein that works by pneumatic unit that works similar as discussed above.

[0036] On the bottom portion of each unit, set of soil inspection probes 108 are mounted, comprising embedded soil sensors including a soil pH sensor, a soil moisture sensor, and a soil nutrient sensor. These probes 108 penetrate the soil to transmit real-time data to the microcontroller for optimized crop care decisions.

[0037] The soil pH sensor functions by measuring the hydrogen ion concentration within the soil, providing data on its acidity or alkalinity. The sensor generally consists of a glass electrode and a reference electrode, which together generate a voltage proportional to the pH level when inserted into moist soil. The signal is amplified and transmitted to the microcontroller for real-time monitoring. This data is essential for determining soil conditions favorable for crop growth and for guiding precise fertilization. The sensor is designed with protective casing to withstand soil particles, moisture, and environmental variations while maintaining accurate and stable readings.

[0038] The soil moisture sensor operates by detecting the volumetric water content within the soil. The sensor typically uses capacitance or resistance-based where changes in dielectric properties of soil due to varying water levels are measured. When the sensor probes 108 are inserted into soil, the capacitance between the electrodes shifts according to water content, generating an electrical signal. This signal is processed and transmitted to the microcontroller for irrigation management. The sensor ensures accurate water status feedback, preventing over- or under-irrigation, and supports resource efficiency. Its rugged design allows reliable function under varying soil textures and outdoor farming conditions.

[0039] The soil nutrient sensor works by detecting concentrations of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It typically uses ion-selective electrodes or optical spectrometry principles to measure nutrient levels directly from soil samples. When the probe is inserted, the sensor identifies ion activity or absorption patterns corresponding to nutrient presence. The generated signal is calibrated and processed into readable nutrient data, which is transmitted to the microcontroller. This enables precise fertilization scheduling and balanced nutrient delivery. The sensor is engineered to handle diverse soil conditions, resist fouling, and provide consistent, real-time nutrient information for optimized crop health.

[0040] Each autonomous unit integrates the electronic fertilization module 109, which includes the multi-compartment vessel 109a for storing different fertilizer types. The precision sprayer 109b is connected to the vessel 109a and configured to deliver targeted nutrients to plants.

[0041] The multi-compartment vessel 109a is designed to store different types of fertilizers in isolated chambers, preventing mixing until controlled release is required. Each compartment is fluidly connected to an outlet regulated by electronically controlled valves. When a crop-specific nutrient requirement is identified, the corresponding compartment is activated, releasing precise amounts of fertilizer. The vessel 109a structure ensures chemical stability, prevents leakage, and supports sequential or combined dispensing. The modular arrangement allows flexible nutrient management for different crops.

[0042] The precision sprayer 109b operates by receiving fertilizer from the vessel 109a and atomizing it into fine droplets for accurate application. Controlled by electronic valves and pumps, the sprayer 109b adjusts flow rate, droplet size, and spray pattern according to soil and crop requirements. The sprayer 109b design enables directional targeting, reducing overspray and minimizing fertilizer wastage. The sprayer 109b ensures even distribution across plant roots or foliage, guided by data from sensors and inspection modules 104. This ensures plants receive required nutrients efficiently while protecting soil and environment from excessive application. Fertilizer delivery is controlled in real-time based on inspection and soil sensor data, ensuring efficient and accurate application.

[0043] The pruning and wound treatment arrangement 110 is integrated on one side of the unit. The treatment comprises the vertical guide rail 110a supporting telescopic pole 110e with adjustable vertical extension. The telescopic pole 110e mentioned herein works by the pneumatic unit similar as mentioned above. \

[0044] The vertical guide rail 110a functions as a stable supporting track that guides the pruning and wound treatment arrangement 110 in an up-and-down motion. The guide rail 110a ensures accurate linear movement without deviations, reducing friction and wear over repeated cycles. The rail 110a provides precise positioning, enabling the cutting and treatment tools to align with different plant sections at varying heights. The design allows smooth motion, maintaining stability even under the dynamic load of moving. By facilitating controlled vertical adjustments, the guide rail 110a ensures effective operation, allowing crops of different sizes to be managed with consistency and reducing the risk of mechanical misalignment.

[0045] Both ends of the pole 110e are connected to motorized spherical joints for multi-directional articulation. The motorized spherical joints provide controlled multi-axis articulation for the arrangement. Each joint integrates a motor-driven that allows rotation and tilt in multiple directions. These joints respond to control inputs from the microcontroller, enabling flexible positioning of the tools to access plant parts from various angles. They maintain stability and torque during operation, ensuring accurate tool alignment even when working under load. The design minimizes backlash, providing smooth directional changes without jerks. By enabling versatile movement, the spherical joints ensure that the pruning and treatment processes can be performed with precision, reducing crop damage and improving operational efficiency.

[0046] The rotating motorized cutter 110b is mounted at the front end of the pole 110e for precise removal of damaged or overgrown plant parts. The rotating motorized cutter 110b performs precision cutting of damaged, diseased, or overgrown plant parts. The cutter 110b operates using an electric motor connected to a sharp rotary blade, enabling fast and clean cuts. The cutter 110b is designed to maintain consistent rotational speed under varying loads, ensuring smooth operation across different stem thicknesses. Its movement is directed through the articulated joints, allowing accurate targeting of specific areas. By removing unwanted growth without crushing or tearing tissues, the cutter 110b minimizes stress on plants and accelerates recovery.

[0047] Adjacent to the cutter 110b, electronic nozzle 110c is provided and connected through the tube to sealant chamber 110d disposed inside the unit. A peristaltic pump drives wound-healing sealant through a solenoid valve, enabling targeted application on plant cuts to ensure rapid recovery and protection against infection.

[0048] The electronic nozzle 110c delivers wound-healing sealant or protective agents directly onto the cut plant surfaces after pruning. The nozzle 110c is connected to a fluid supply chamber via a tube and is electronically controlled for precise dispensing. The nozzle 110c produces a fine, directed spray, ensuring that the sealant is applied only to the targeted area without waste. The controlled delivery prevents excessive application, maintaining plant tissue health and allowing quick sealing of exposed cuts. The electronic regulation ensures responsiveness to real-time control signals from the microcontroller. This targeted approach reduces infection risk, accelerates healing, and enhances the durability of treated plant sections.

[0049] The peristaltic pump drives the controlled flow of wound-healing sealant from the storage chamber to the electronic nozzle 110c. The pump functions by compressing and releasing a flexible tube in a rotary motion, pushing the fluid forward without contaminating it. This design ensures a consistent and sterile flow, as the fluid never contacts the pump’s mechanical parts. The pump is electronically controlled to adjust flow rates based on plant treatment needs. The pump provides precise volumetric control, avoiding wastage of sealant and ensuring uniform coverage.

[0050] The solenoid valve functions as an electronically actuated that regulates the flow of wound-healing sealant from the chamber 110d toward the electronic nozzle 110c. The valve operates by energizing a coil, which generates a magnetic field that moves a plunger to open or close the valve passage. This enables fast, precise on/off control of fluid flow in synchronization with the pump. The valve prevents leakage or backflow when not activated, ensuring accurate and clean application. Its integration with the microcontroller allows real-time response to pruning operations, maintaining controlled dispensing and minimizing waste of sealant during wound treatment.

[0051] The moat barrier making arrangement 111 is integrated on the opposite side of the unit. The arrangement comprises the semicircular cascading slider 111a adapted to extend around a plant, along with the U-shaped plate tool 111b attached via motorized hinge joints 111c. The semicircular cascading slider 111a functions as a guiding unit to encircle the base of a plant during moat formation. The slider 111a extends outward in a controlled arc to define the trench path around the plant. The slider 111a is driven by actuators that ensure smooth deployment and retraction, maintaining alignment with the soil surface. The cascading profile ensures consistent soil displacement and prevents uneven trench formation. By following a predefined circular path, the slider 111a provides accuracy and repeatability in moat creation.

[0052] The U-shaped plate tool 111b is the primary digging implement designed to penetrate and displace soil in a circular trench around the plant. It operates through motorized hinge joints 111c that drive the tool 111b into the ground with controlled force and angular movement. The U-shape ensures efficient scooping and removal of soil while maintaining uniform trench depth. The sharp lower edges facilitate easy soil penetration, reducing resistance during operation. The motorized actuation enables consistent trenching across varied soil types. The tool’s-controlled motion ensures precision, reducing plant root disturbance while preparing a well-formed channel for the moat barrier.

[0053] The motorized hinge joints 111c provide controlled articulation of the U-shaped plate tool 111b for trench formation. Each joint integrates a compact motor and angular displacement sensors, enabling precise control over tool 111b angle and depth. When activated, the joints rotate the plate tool 111b downward into the soil and retract it after soil displacement. The multi-directional movement ensures flexibility in adapting to soil hardness and plant spacing. The hinge joints 111c are electronically synchronized with the slider 111a ensuring uniform trenching around the plant

[0054] A fluid connection unit links the arrangement to the farm water pipeline for filling the trench with water, forming a protective moat to deter crawling pests. The fluid connection unit serves as a controlled interface between the farm’s water pipeline and the moat-forming arrangement. The connection unit integrates inlet valves, flow regulators, and distribution channels to direct water into the freshly dug trench. Upon activation, the unit opens solenoid-controlled valves, allowing measured water flow based on soil absorption and trench capacity. The regulated distribution ensures efficient filling of the circular moat without overflow or wastage. The unit is designed for leak-proof operation and synchronizes with the trenching process to begin filling immediately after trench formation. This ensures timely creation of water barriers that deter crawling pests effectively.

[0055] The cylindrical mesh barrier arrangement 112 is integrated into the unit for protection against small animals and climbing pests. The arrangement includes a motorized retractable roller 112a assembly configured to store a roll of flexible mesh sheet 112c. The motorized retractable roller 112a assembly functions as the core for controlled storage and deployment of the flexible mesh sheet 112c. The roller 112a consists of a cylindrical roller 112a integrated with a compact electric motor and a rotational shaft that drives the rolling and unrolling process. When activated, the motor provides torque to the shaft, enabling smooth extension of the mesh sheet 112c around the plant or retraction back onto the roller 112a for storage. The roller 112a maintains tension across the sheet 112c through precision bearings and torque regulation, preventing sagging or entanglement. This ensures reliable and repeatable deployment cycles for consistent pest protection.

[0056] The flexible mesh sheet 112c operates as the physical barrier preventing entry of small animals and climbing pests. The sheet 112c is fabricated from lightweight, stretchable, and high-tensile material resistant to tearing and environmental degradation. During deployment, the mesh unwinds smoothly from the roller 112a assembly and conforms to the cylindrical shape formed around the plant. Its fine grid structure prevents intrusion while allowing sufficient airflow, moisture passage, and light transmission to the crop. The sheet’s elasticity aids in absorbing mechanical stress and minor animal impacts without damage. When retracted, the mesh is tightly rolled, minimizing storage space and ensuring quick redeployment

[0057] The pair of vertically aligned telescopic arms 112b are attached to opposite sides of the unit to deploy the mesh sheet 112c upward, forming a cylindrical enclosure around the plant. The telescopic arms 112b mentioned herein that works by pneumatic unit that works similar as mentioned above.

[0058] The vibration-inducing unit is integrated with the roller 112a assembly and activated when an animal contacts the mesh, destabilizing the barrier and deterring intrusion. The deployment of the mesh barrier is automatically triggered by intrusion signals detected by the inspection modules 104 upon identifying small animals such as rats, squirrels, or rabbits.

[0059] The vibration-inducing unit functions as an active deterrent by generating controlled mechanical oscillations when an animal makes contact with the mesh barrier. The unit is mechanically coupled to the roller 112a assembly and powered by an electric motor or actuator, which converts electrical energy into rapid vibrations transmitted through the mesh. Upon activation, the vibrations create an unstable surface, causing the mesh to shake and tilt, thereby discouraging the animal from climbing or passing through. The frequency and amplitude of the vibrations are optimized to startle without damaging the mesh

[0060] The system is further connected to a cloud-based data processing and storage platform. The platform is configured to collect sensor readings, inspection results, and activity logs, and it trains machine learning protocols for pattern recognition. Predictive alerts are generated and remote access is provided to farmers through a connected computing interface.

[0061] The microcontroller further activates the inbuilt communication module to establish a wireless connection between the microcontroller and the computing unit, which is integrated with a user interface. The computing unit enables the remote access is provided to farmers, such as weed removal. The user interacts with the interface through a touch screen, keyboard, or other available input methods. The computing unit may include, but is not limited to, a smartphone, laptop, or tablet.

[0062] The communication module may include, but is not limited to, a Wi-Fi module, Bluetooth module, or GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module, with the Wi-Fi module being preferred. The Wi-Fi module enables wireless communication by transmitting and receiving data over radio frequencies using IEEE 802.11 protocols. It connects to a network through an access point and converts digital data into radio signals. The module processes TCP/IP protocols for data exchange, interfaces with the microcontroller via UART or SPI, and ensures encrypted communication using WPA/WPA2 security standards, providing secure and efficient wireless connectivity.

[0063] The platform receives real-time data transmitted from all connected sensors, inspection modules 104, and autonomous units 106. This includes environmental measurements, soil parameters, crop health images, pest detection data, and logs of executed farm operations. Data transmission is handled via secure network protocols to ensure integrity and prevent loss or tampering. The platform continuously aggregates incoming information, maintaining an up-to-date repository that enables centralized monitoring and real-time decision-making.

[0064] Upon receipt, the platform organizes the collected data into structured formats, categorizing information based on source, type, and timestamp. Activity logs and inspection results are indexed for easy retrieval. The platform stores both historical and current data in a scalable storage system, ensuring long-term access for trend analysis, reporting, and compliance purposes. Based on machine learning outcomes, the platform generates predictive alerts to inform users about necessary actions, such as irrigation, fertilization, pruning, or pest deterrence. Alerts are prioritized based on urgency and potential impact on crop health, ensuring timely responses and minimizing resource wastage.

[0065] The platform provides a secure computing interface for remote monitoring and control. Farmers visualize live sensor readings, review historical data, track autonomous unit activities, and adjust system parameters remotely. This interface enables informed decision-making and operational control without requiring physical presence on the farm.

[0066] The microcontroller embedded within the is configured to autonomously navigate the units 106 across the farm area and execute targeted actions, including pruning, fertilization, moat creation, and pest deterrence, based on sensor inputs. This integration ensures continuous monitoring, protection, and crop care in an automated and efficient manner.

[0067] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the structural frame 101 as disclosed in the invention is formed by plurality of vertical telescopic rods 102 positioned at four corners of the farm, with the motorized dual- axis slider 103 mounted on top of the rods 102. The slider 103 moves horizontally along two perpendicular axes to provide complete aerial coverage, enabling precise positioning of the units 106 and modules. The plurality of AI-based inspection modules 104 arranged along the slider 111a continuously monitor plant health, pest presence, and environmental conditions, transmitting real-time data to the central processing unit for analysis. The pest deterrent units 105 mounted on the slider 103 act upon threats identified by the inspection modules 104, using water-spraying nozzles 105a, UV light emission, and ultrasonic waves to repel birds, insects, and other intrusions.

[0068] In continuation, the autonomous units 106 suspended from the slider 103 perform crop care operations across the farm, including targeted fertilization through the electronic fertilization module 109, and pruning and wound treatment to remove damaged plant parts and apply healing sealant. Soil inspection probes 108 embedded in the units 106 measure pH, moisture, and nutrient levels, providing input for precise crop care decisions. The moat barrier making arrangement 111 forms a water-filled trench around plants to prevent crawling pest intrusion, while the cylindrical mesh barrier arrangement 112 deploys a protective enclosure against small animals, with a vibration-inducing unit deterring intrusion upon contact. The cloud-based data processing and storage platform collects and analyzes all sensor data, generating predictive alerts and enabling remote access to farmers. The microcontroller autonomously navigates the units 106, executing pruning, fertilization, and moat creation based on sensor inputs, ensuring optimized, continuous, and intelligent farm management.
